Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Russy is approximately 6-8 years old. When we got him from the shelter, they said he was blind, but he's not, although his vision is impaired. He has tiny eyes (microopthalmia) which was likely a birth defect. He's a happy guy and his tail is always wagging! Super sweet and clever too - he knows how to knock down baby gates to get where he wants to go! He loves toys and has been fine with kids so far. Adorable boy, about 13-15 pounds. Russy is not housetrained. If you are interested in adopting from Recycled Doggies, please complete an adoption application by emailing us at recycleddoggies@gmail.com to request an application. THAT IS THE FIRST STEP IN OUR PROCESS. Please do not just show up at an adoption event and expect to adopt a dog that day - we need time to review your application ahead of time, which is why we ask that you submit your application ahead of time so you don't miss out on the dog you are hoping to adopt while you wait for your application to be reviewed. Our adoption fee is $175. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, dewormed, heartworm tested (if over 9 months of age), and microchipped. We do not adopt outside our area, which we define as two hours drive time from downtown Cincinnati (zip code 45202 - use Google Maps to determine if you are within our area) NO EXCEPTIONS. This is for the safety of our dogs, so that in case an adoption does not work out, we can be sure that we can quickly get our dog back. We do not have a shelter or facility - all of our dogs live in volunteer foster homes. In order to not infringe on any more of the time of our foster families, we introduce our dogs to potential adopters at our weekend adoption events posted on our website - please do not request to meet the dog outside of an adoption event as we are unable to grant the request. If you have additional questions, please email recycleddoggies@gmail.com.
